A Lower Saucon Township woman says in a Northampton County Court suit that the car she got wasn't the one she ordered, and it has never worked properly, besides.

In a suit prepared by attorney Bohdan Zelechiwsky, Deborah Young of Old Philadelphia Road is seeking $25,971 from Kelly Buick, 501-523 State Road, Emmaus, and American Motors Sales Corp., Woodbury, N.J., the company that imports Renault automobiles for sale in the United States.

Young says she signed an agreement of sale Nov. 8, 1983, with the dealership for a new black 1984 Renault Fuego. She paid $8,657 for the car, which she received the same day.

It wasn't until December 1983 that she learned she had gotten a 1983 model, rather than the 1984 model she had ordered.

However, she says she noticed immediately that there were severe water leaks in the rear compartment of the car and that the rear-window wiper, radio and speakers, heat and air conditioning all malfunctioned; the car used a lot of oil; there was a squeak in the rear, and the paint job was bad.

She took it back to Kelly "at least nine times," and the car still didn't work right, she says.

On three occasions, after she took the car in for repairs, she found that other things were broken or not working, the suit says. The third time, after she got it out of the shop in June 1984, she says she noticed that the left mirror, left and right bumpers and left front-wheel cover were damaged, and that the car had been driven 77 miles since she delivered it for repair.

In August, the suit says, she was asked to pay for an oil change she had not ordered. And two days later when she picked up her car, it says, there was garbage strewn through it, papers thrown on the floor, a seat disconnected, grease marks on the seats and the steering wheel was covered with grease.

Her warranty has been violated by Kelly and American Motors, Young says, because she never used the car except in a normal manner. The defects in her car have not been corrected in the proper manner, nor in a reasonable time, and Unfair Trade Practice and Consumer Protection laws have been violated by the substitution of a 1983 vehicle for the 1984 car she ordered, she claims.

By reason of those violations, the suit says she is entitled to three times her actual damages, or $25,971.
